Ok, so funny situation.

I normally go on date binges then dry spells. My dating life is largely dependent on whether or not I'm busy and this summer I've been pretty busy. There's this girl at my other job whose force of personality just stands out. I guess I like that she's a *****. She's a *****, but she's totally got the right intentions. I can go on, but it doesn't matter. Thing is, her and I have gotten to know each other bit by bit and there's lots of intellectual chemistry. Some very slight flirting (within the bounds that allow us) and lots of smiling, etc. But as with all work relationships, don't **** where you eat.

Okay so two major developments. Couple weeks ago she gets this huge promotion and feels like a million bucks. Just radiates flair. Meanwhile I'm like, now definitely don't **** where you eat. But at the same time I feel like I can't turn off my crush, lol. I'm currently out meeting other girls and talking to a couple but this girl at work I have intellectual and physical attraction, and there are some inklings of emotional chemistry as we both have gotten to know each other over time and some personal stuff has been shared. Also, I'm set to leave in a year once grad school's done. Second development is that she went out of her way and hooked me up with a major connection that ended up helping me jump through a hoop in school. She completely didn't have to do that and played it off like it was nothing but she pulled some major strings for me, so it was definitely not "nothing". Could be she's just happy about her promotion but that made me wonder.

She's driven, she's rude, she's smart, and she's attractive. She's basically a good girl that packs a punch. And her personality and mine just click. I'm looking to ask her out when I leave this job. I'm hoping that in this year we grow to truly get to know one another. Of course I'll be pursuing other girls on the side, but something about this girl. I rarely if ever did the long-term approach with women, and yet so many older people say the long-term, friends first thing works. Idk.

What are some suggestions?

Sounds like keeping your options open seems the course that you are on. Patience is probably my only advice.
